I need help with reconfiguring present network\router e4200v2

The current e4200v2 router and cable modem are in the basement on one end of the house. I am buying a new router and want to locate it on the main floor to improve connections. I want the new router to be the wifi and DHCP server. So can I use the e4200v2 as the firewall only and the new router as the wifi and DHCP server? I am cabling the connections.
So Cable Modem >> Firewall e4200v2 >> DHCP\WIFI New Router
The e4200v2 would still have to have LAN connections receiving DHCP from the new router.
I do not know if this is possible or if I need to add a switch or chnage everything around. I need to relocate the DHCP server and wifi.

Hi davekstl,
You can't use your E4200 to act as a switch only. You may need to buy a switch or cascade the two routers to improve the connection.
You may refer to this article : Title: Cascading or Connecting a Linksys router to another router
Let me know if you need more assistance.

Need help with Tiger & XP network setup

Hi all!
Back in the days of OS 7.5, I managed to stick my old faithful Mac onto my family's otherwise all-PC network. All I really needed was internet access - I didn't try to fileshare.
Now that I have Tiger, though, I'm totally lost as to how to set up the network. All the help I can find seems to say "ask your network administrator." The problem is, that's me! I'm hoping someone can help me set up the router and the Tiger computer as well.
Could this be a compatibility issue between OS 10.4 and the router? The router box said "minimum requirements" for Mac are "10.3, 10.2, or 10.1."
I have a D-link DI-624 wireless router. Right now I have a desktop PC wired in with cat-5 cable, and also a laptop PC that connects wirelessly. No problem with those computers. But I cannot get my Mac to see the router, or vice versa.
I've tried setting the router to "allow DHCP server to assign same IP address to specific MAC address." (I found my Mac's Mac address just fine and double-checked it was correct.) After setting that in the router, I hooked up the Mac via cat-5 and edited Network Prefs. First I tried "Configure using DHCP with manual address," and entered the IP address I had told the router to set automatically for the Mac.
(Router address is 192.168.0.1 and I told it to assign 192.168.0.4 to the Mac.)
Safari told me I wasn't connected to the Internet, so using trial and error I changed Network Prefs to "Configure IPv4 using DHCP." No luck there either, even when I tried the "Renew DHCP Lease" button.
Any advice as to whether or not I should be telling the router to auto-assign an IP address to the Mac? I took off that setting completely, and set Network Prefs to "using DHCP," but still couldn't connect to the internet.
Would it be worth re-installing my older copy of OS 10.1 to see if that works with the router, since that is actually listed on the box?
I thank you for any suggestions you have to offer! I really don't know what to try next.

I'm using the Mac wired - it does not have wireless capability, and as it is sitting right next to the router I just want to hook it up with Ethernet cable. The wireless function is just for the PCs I have downstairs.
I am not sure what non-broadcast SSID means, but I think that has to do with the wireless portion of the network, right? I do have a SSID name set up, and WEP encryption so that only the PCs I own can connect to the wireless network, not anyone else's computers. But on the wired PC I have connected directly to the router, I do not have to input any of the security settings. I've even set the router to recognize the MAC addresses of all my computers, including the Mac.
What brand and model of router are you using successfully with Macs & PCs? The store I bought my router from is willing to give me a full refund if I can't get it to work - perhaps I would have better luck with the type of router you're using.

Need Help with Packet Loss and routing Loop perhaps???

Hi,
I am running into a very odd situation. One of our highly critical systems (172.18.1.2/16) is losing connection intermittently for brief periods of time (1minute, 3 minute, 50 seconds and so on).
I have gathered some information that I would like to share with you guys:
The switch is a 3560 (Show version is in ShowVersion.txt)
default gateway is 172.18.10.254/16 (virtual IP in an HSRP , packet capture is done on the active node)
I have noticed that pings to one of the default gateways drop infrequently (more frequently from machines on 172.18.0.0/16) segment.
total number of machines on 172.18.0.0/16 do not exceed 200
I have captured packets on Interface Vlan1 and I found something very weird, perhaps pointing to a routing loop??? (see capture.png) The ICMP request comes and hits the 172.18.10.254 with TTL of 128 TWICE! then packet capture shows that same packet with TTL decremented by one TWICE! again and again until it reaches TTL of 1 and then it responds with a reply.
At times it completely ignores the requests and causes a request timed out.
I am confused and need help in right direction. I really appreciate it.
can you also confirm if the multiple packets mean routing loop somewhere?
Thanks

Could you post a copy of your HRSP config and the results of a #show standby?
Thanks

Need help with my E2100L Wireless Router

I moved back home with the parents after graduating from college while I'm searching for a job and I noticed my parent's wireless internet connection was really poor. I'm normally pretty decent with computers but I haven’t been able to fix this problem so I am hoping if I explain it to you fine folks and can point me in the right direction to getting everything running properly.
The problem I’m having is with the wireless signal fluctuating frequently when I’m not in the same room with the router. I know the issue is not with Comcast or the modem because when I remove the router and just plug into the modem I get 25 Mbps all day long when I run a test on Speedtest.net.
The setup is Comcast Internet 25 Mbps, SB6120 Modem, and Linksys E2100L Wireless Router with WPA2/WPA security activated.
Before I touched anything the modem and router were originally in my parent’s bedroom. I was getting speeds of less than 1 Mbps if any when I was in my bedroom so I moved them into the living room to be more centrally located. Our house is a one story house with bedrooms divided by the living room. The move seemed to help a little but something was still really wrong so I did a hard reset on the router. I setup up the network manually by going through the settings on 192.168.1.1. which made things work a little better. However I still wasn’t getting close to the speeds I should have been getting and when in my bedroom the connection would sometimes drop out altogether. So I did another hard reset on the router and this time I used the CD that came with it (Cisco Connect) to setup the network. That has got my problem halfway fixed because now if I am in the living room and my laptop is connected wirelessly when I run the speed test I get 25 Mbps.
I thought I have solved everything because in my bedroom the signal was now very good at 20 Mbps… except the 20 Mbps didn’t last. It held around 20 Mbps for the about first 10 minutes but then dropped to about 16 Mbps for a while. A day later when I run the test I now range anywhere from 3 Mbps to 14 Mbps. There seems to be no consistency. I did a hard reset again and setup the network using the CD and the problem persists. I get 20 Mbps in the very beginning and then it lowers from there and fluctuates frequently.
I thought it might be a firmware issue so I successfully updated it today to the latest firmware “1.0.05 build 4 Mar 8, 2012” but the same thing happens. I just don’t get it. Why am I able to get 20 Mbps for the first few min in my bedroom and then it’s a crapshoot thereafter? If it were interference wouldn’t the interference always be there and not be a gradual onset? Why when I’m in the living room with the router is it perfect at 25 Mbps but as soon as I go to my bedroom I get a much much lower connection speed.
I could handle the speed being lower if it was consistent but it’s not. This post has taken me about 20 min to type and while doing so I ran the test a few times at a couple minutes apart and got 3 Mbps, 7 Mbps, and 10 Mbps speeds. Someone please help! This is driving me crazy!!!

When in my bedroom there are only 2 other networks available to join that belong to neighbors but their signal strength is fair at best while my signal dances between being excellent and good. There is no microwave oven, cordless phone, or garage between me and the router. When I'm in my bedroom I'm no more than 10 feet from the actual router and only seperated by a wall and I'm pretty sure its not a brick wall.
Again I don't understand how it could be interference. If there was something interfering wouldn't it always be interfering? Like I said in my first post every time I reset the network I get speeds of 20 Mbps for the first few min in my bedroom and then it gradually lowers and I get a fluctuating speed between 3 and 14 Mbps.
In the settings there is no channel width option of 40 MHz only. I get "20 MHz only" and "Auto(20MHz or 40MHz)" as my options. I have tried them both but don't really notice a difference.
I am going to try the insider program today to see what its results are.

Newb needs help with windows / g4 network

Hi, I'm brand new to all this so please be patient.
I have an xp machine with an adsl internet connection which is connected to a belkin ethernet wireless bridge. I'd like to connect it wirelessly to my G4 but I can't get my head around all this new lingo.
What do I need to connect them? I have an AirPort Express Base Station and a Power PC G4 (with an ethernet card but no wireless card). My friend told me that all I'd need is the wireless bridge at the pc and the Airport Express Base Station at the G4. I've connected them (G4 and Airport base station) with an ethernet cable but when I try to configure it, it says "No new airport networks were found". Am I completely off track?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Paul
There is very likely an issue with the configuration of the Belkin device.
Check all the settings or reset and reconfigure.
It is very difficult (if nigh impossible) to troubleshoot a device you can't see or see the configuration for.
Things you can try:
• if using any for of wireless security, switch it off and see if that makes a difference
• check the IP address of the Belkin device to ensure it is getting an IP address from the Airport base station.
Or
Purchase a wireless adapter for the G4 which will work such as an Airport card or an ethernet wireless bridge such as the Linksys WET54G.

Frustrated and Need Help with AE after new router installed

My AE worked fine on a previous router that ran through a modem. I now have a 2 Wire Modem-Router combo and cannot get my computer to recognize it. I am running Windows XP. I have plugged the AE base station directly into the router and configured it but, as soon as I disconnect the ethernet cable, it stops working. I have tried to join a wireless network in client mode but my computer, since it does not have a wireless card only a router, cannot see the base station. Which way do I go? Do I setup the base station while connected by ethernet cable or do I try to setup in client mode wirelessly? If while connected by ethernet, what settings? My routers is DHCP and does have a password associated with it?

Issue was addressed in another dicussion.

I need help with my secured network please

i have forgotten my password for my secured network so what should i do about this?

That depends on which password you forgot.
If you forgot the router login password, then the only way to recover control of your router is to use the reset button, and reset it to factory defaults. This will reset the password to "admin".
If you have only forgotten your encryption password, you can look that up in the router. Point your browser to 192.168.1.1 then enter your user name (if any) and password. This will take you to your router setup pages. Click on the tab marked "Wireless" (on some routers, you will have to go to the "Security" tab instead). Then start looking through the settings til you find your encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2). Usually, just below this is where you will find your encryption key or encryption password.

Need Help With Mac Mini Networking

I sure could use some Apple Expert advise:
I am having quite a problem getting my mac mini to see my Windows (Vista-XP) network. I am only able to see one of my systems when I use the smb://command. First I used this command from the address bar of Firefox, it connected and mounted the drive on my mac desktop.....would not see any of the others. I have (2) Leopard books and have followed the steps correctly.
Went back to the store-local and we did the same functions and without fail the systems showed up quickly in the finder as shared.
I have the WINS: NETBIOS name and Workgroup name correct. I have file sharing, screen sharing turned on.
Can anyone give me some thoughts as to what I am missing here. Again unless I use the smb://command nothing shows up. I have the Finder set to show shared.
Connection to the wireless net, perfect-less than a minute to complete.
Thanks in advance

Windows PCs aren't visible from the shared area.
Here's a tip: write an Automator application to mount the computer's C drives (you will need 1 app per PC). Then, run that app and open a Finder window and then the PC's IP address will be visible in the shared area. Make sure you know the PC's IP address. Then for convenience, give your new apps their own snazzily named folder and drag that to the dock and make a stack.
Another thing: if you don't already have one, setup a password for your desktop because if there isn't one, serious problems will occur.

Need help with duplicate print jobs over network that I can't cancel

I have the Photosmart Premium All-in-One on my home network. My kids who each have laptop running Windows 7 and are connected via wireless to the printer via a DLINK DIR-655.
They hit the print button too many times and it keeps printing over and over again.
Is there a way to get the printer to stop printing these duplicates. I tried turning off/on but they just keep printing.
We're wasting paper/ink and I need help with a solution.
Please let me know. Thanks.

There should be a button with a red 'X' on it on the front of the printer. This is the print cancel button.

Purchased extreme to replace modem/router DSL used telephone cord need help with set up

Prior to purchasing Airport Extreme had a standard modem/ wireless router from ATT for DSL. I have two macbooks both dropped connections while online with older modem.
Airport Extreme purchased to correct connection issues I need help with set up. The older modem just used telephone cord. I tried to use telephone with extreme it did not work.
How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?

How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?
you can't. the extreme is only a router. you need a separate modem (or disable the wireless part of your old router and use it as a modem - if that's possible).

Need help with networking external hard drive

Hi,
I am working on a corporate network and I have a Western Digital My Book Studio Edition external hard drive attached to a Mac OSX 10.4. i have other Macs connecting through the network to this Mac and accessing the external hard drive and it works just fine for that.
What I need help with is the fact that I also have several PCs on the same network (all XP), that need to connect to the hard drive and access the files. I've been able to connect to the Mac using the XP by accessing the IP address. I also set the Mac up with password credentials so that I had to log in to the Mac to access the files. But when I try to access the Mac, it only shows the main computer drive as the only available share and no external drive.
Does anyone know how to access a Western Digital external drive on a Mac from a PC through a network?

For an external hard disk drive or other (different) system shared
storage devices to work, they probably should be formatted in a
format seen by both operating systems.
If the WD unit is not seen by Windows computers on your network,
the WD may have been formatted in HFS+ for the Macintosh. That
is OK unless you need a Windows computer to access the same.
The Macintosh can see and use a standard Windows disc format;
so the external drive may need to be reformatted away from HFS+
if that is really what is going on (and archive any data on the suspect
drive elsewhere, since it will be lost to reformatting overwrites)
and then both Mac OS X and Windows should see the files on there.
And Macs set up to run Windows may also see the non-Mac format;
without having to re-boot via BootCamp, if that option is in use.
As to the other question(s) I really have no idea at this point in time.
And since that may be the rub, hopefully someone will follow up here.
Good luck & happy computing!

Need help with Airport Express and so on.

Ok so my main problem before getting into what I need help with here is that our MacBooks and now my iPhone 6 plus isn't staying online. Keep getting booted off and then I either have to select the network again or it will eventually go back on. If anyone has a solution or so please feel free to answer that as well. I'm running on Roadrunner with a Netgear 600 wireless router and a motorola modem. Both of which I'll leave the link to below for a better look.
My Main Question: So I'm looking at a new wireless router mainly and possibly a new modem. I know Apple products are trustworthy but how good is the Airport Express and other Airport products. Also what is the Maximum speed and Maximum data speed for the cheapest express station and if anyone knows the speeds of the other devices it would be greatly appreciated.

DSL Router to Netgear 5-port Switch and I used the switch to connect to Airport Extreme, TV, Blue-Ray DVD player and DirecTV Receiver.
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is a router so it will do what you need.
You need to reconfigure your setup. Connect the WAN port of the AEBS to the DSL router. Then connect the Netgear switch to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS. The AEBS will properly share the connection.

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
Product: D110a all-in-one
OS: Windows XP Professional
Error messages: None
Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
trunk is a round, solid object.
I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

Hi everyone,
I noticed the following message when network starts on my gateway
Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
brazzmonkey,
you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
Use, f.e., netcfg:
Comment your old lines.
In /etc/rc.conf insert:
NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
First one is named Eth0-dhcp.
Contents:
CONNECTION="ethernet"
DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
INTERFACE=eth0
HOSTNAME="your hostname"
IP="dhcp"
DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
Second one is named Eth1-static.
Contents:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='whatver'
INTERFACE='eth1'
HOSTNAME='hname'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.10'
GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
Hope it helps.
mektub
PS: netcfg must be installed.
